San Francisco Scavenger: Kung-fu Chinese Tea Set for $25

If you've ever wanted to learn more about the various tea ceremonies, here's a good start. This Kung-fu Tea Set has never been used and is still in its original box inscribed with the Chinese characters for "fragrant" and "clear". The Kung-fu Tea originated in the Song Dynasty. In the Kung-fu ceremony, there is a special pitcher for pouring the tea and a sniffing cup for appreciating the tea's aroma. This ceremony is used as a social activity to promote friendship and greet guests. Learn more about the ceremony here and here.
